    Basic Hydraulics of a Diaphragm Valve: This seminar reviews the basic operating principles of a hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated control valves. Examples are given for applications requiring on/off and modulating control and how to determine which Cla-Val valve model will best meet particular system requirements. Flow characteristics and valve sizing guidelines are also discussed. The most basic of Cla-Val's seminar offerings, this topic is recommended as an introduction to each of our product specific seminars.

    Altitude and Level Control Valves are typically used in applications to control high water levels in reservoirs. Designed for accurate and repeatable level control, Cla-Val Altitude and Level Control Valves provide drip-tight, positive shut-off.
    This product seminar discusses the following technical issues, depending on seminar participant interests:

  • Proper sizing for maximum operational efficiency
  • Valve model selection, specifically one-way or two-way flow options, with or without delayed opening capabilities
  • Preventing surge and cavitation in Altitude and Level Control Valves
  • Operational theory
  • Installation, operation and maintenance
  • Troubleshooting
  • When electronic control may be an option

    Pump Control Valves are used in booster pump control discharge and deep well pump applications to protect pipelines from surges caused by the starting and stopping of pumps. Solenoid controlled, Cla-Val pump control valves can also be manually operated, should the need arise.
    This product seminar discusses the following technical issues, depending on where seminar participant interests lie:
  • Proper sizing for maximum operational efficiency
  • Valve model selection
  • Surge and cavitation prevention
  • Operational theory
  • Installation, operation and maintenance
  • Troubleshooting

    Check Valves are used in applications where water hammer, backflow or flow reversal is a concern. Designed to provide silent, non-slam closure, Cla-Val Check valves are available in a variety of configurations including:
  • Space saving models with short lay length
  • Optional resilient seats
  • Models suited for horizontal or vertical installation
  • Globe check, single disc, two-door wafer style and a variety of other types and materials of construction
    This product seminar discusses the following technical issues, depending on where seminar participant interests lie:
  • Proper sizing for maximum operational efficiency
  • Selecting the Cla-Val Check Valve that is best suited for specific applications
  • Operational theory
  • Installation, operation and maintenance
  • Troubleshooting

    Air Release Valves are designed to protect pipelines from air lock and vacuum collapse by allowing air to exhaust from the venting orifice during line filling or draining. Cla-Val Air Release and Air Release Vacuum Valves are typically installed at high points in water transmission and treatment plant pipelines, as well as at vertical turbine pump discharges.
    This product seminar discusses the following technical issues, depending on where seminar participant interests lie:
  • Proper sizing for maximum operational efficiency
  • Selecting the Cla-Val Air Valve that is best suited to protect pipelines from vacuum formations and to facilitate the release of entrained air at pipeline high points
  • Operational theory
  • Installation, operation and maintenance
  • Troubleshooting

    Pressure Relief/Pressure Sustaining Automatic Control Valves are typically used to maintain constant upstream pressure within close limits. Available with an optional check feature, Cla-Val Pressure Relief/Pressure Sustaining Valves provide completely automatic operation, with fast opening to maintain line pressure and slow closing to prevent surge. This valve can also be used for sustaining backpressure, unloading functions in a by-pass system and preventing return flow should a pressure reversal occur.
    This product seminar discusses the following technical issues, depending on where seminar participant interests lie:
  • Proper sizing for maximum operational efficiency to prevent cavitation
  • Selecting the Cla-Val Pressure Relief/Pressure Sustaining Valve that is best suited to maintain optimal pipeline pressure and ultimately ensuring accurate reliable system delivery
  • Operational theory
  • Installation, operation and maintenance
  • Troubleshooting
      - Schedule a Seminar -


    Pressure Reducing Automatic Control Valves are typically used to maintain constant pressure levels downstream of a pump. An optional check feature is offered to handle applications where reverse flow through the pump is a concern or to hold system pressure when the pump is off.
    This product seminar discusses the following technical issues, depending on where seminar participant interests lie:
  • Proper sizing for maximum operational efficiency
  • Selecting the Cla-Val Pressure Reducing Control Valve that is best suited to maintain handle a wide range of flow rates including peak load demand and low flow conditions
  • Operational theory
  • Installation, operation and maintenance and troubleshooting

    Surge Control: This comprehensive seminar discusses the methods operators can employ to protect their pipelines and equipment from damage and operating inefficiencies caused by surge. The seminar will also provide a brief overview of SurgeView, Cla-Val's surge analysis software. SurgeView assists specifying engineers in the selection of the Cla-Val product best suited to prevent and relieve surges in a given distribution system. The software plots the results of the transient in real time and "animates" the transient waves over the period of the transient event.
    This product seminar also discusses the following technical issues, depending on where seminar participant interests lie:
  • Proper sizing for maximum operational efficiency
  • Operational theory
  • Installation, operation and maintenance and troubleshooting
